If you are wondering at the title of this piece, I cant really describe it any better than an excerpt from my novel that im writing, its currently on 75k words and nearing completion. I will let it do the talking:

Stepping out into the cold night air was like walking into an elemental wall, its cooling touch overcame him immediately helping him to focus his mind once again. Knuckles leaned on the balconies steel railings, looking out over the lake which flanked the right side of the palace, its gentle waves lapping quietly against the stone of the walls far below him. Toria, Mobius’s beautiful moon, dominated the night sky, bathing the entire landscape in sensual blue and violet hues. In the distance, the familiar shape of treetops silhouetting themselves against the moon indicated the location of the palatial forest and hunting grounds. Surrounding Toria, the sky glittered with uncountable bright and beautiful stars, It was exactly how he remembered.

“Bring back memories Guardian?”

Knuckles smiled as he heard the Queen’s soft voice behind him. “Indeed your highness, many happy memories and just as many sad ones”

Sally walked over and copied his stance, leaving a respectable amount of space between them both. “I remember when we used to play for hours amongst those trees” she stated, nodding to the vast area of forest directly ahead of them both. “We used to take it in turns to hide and seek. They were happy times”

Knuckles said nothing but picked up the glass and took a long gulp of the champagne.

“You grew up Guardian” Sally smiled, staring at him for a long time. “I didn’t recognise you at first in your formal attire”

He returned her gaze, working his way from her toes upward and taking his time to soak in her luscious curves. Sally wore a simple but extremely flattering midnight black dress which revealed a generous amount of lower leg and just a fleeting glance of the top of her breasts. On her feet, simple black high heels displayed her perfectly manicured toes. The Queen’s slender but toned arms were completely bare and her deep red luscious hair had been left to its own devices. Knuckles marvelled at how full of life and volume it was as it danced in the crosswind. Over her shoulder, the Queen looked at him with her piercing blue eyes which appeared to look directly into his soul. Her delicate muzzle and nose seemed to involuntarily force his gaze lower to her beautifully proportioned neck and breasts. She wore no jewellery or crown as it was clear that no necklace, ring or bracelet could have done anything to improve or add to her already stunning beauty. She was perfect.

“These things?” he finally managed to reply and pointed down to his current choice of clothing. When he had arrived at his allocated chambers, Knuckles had immediately removed his cumbersome armour and replaced it with simple but functional robes. “Apparently they are part of the job but I’ve never seen the attraction of them to tell you the truth. I will admit, they are warm and light but they look so old fashioned, don’t you think? The Brotherhood is insistent that I wear them for formal occasions but personally I think they need to move with times. Fashion has progressed a great deal since they were designed a few thousand years ago”.

Sally chuckled and gave him a long approving look. “You filled out Guardian, when I last saw you; you were an arrogant little boy that didn’t like to lose”

Knuckles smiled and returned her gaze. “And when I last saw you, you were a very clumsy girl who loved to win far too much”

“Touché” The Queen replied.
